The #1 internationally bestselling author of The Forgotten Garden mesmerizes readers with a haunting tale of long-buried secrets and the twists of fate that can alter lives forever.
This enthralling romantic thriller pays homage to the classics of gothic fiction, spinning a rich and intricate web of mystery, suspense, and lost love.
It starts with a letter, lost for half a century and unexpectedly delivered to Edie’s mother on a Sunday afternoon. The letter leads Edie to Milderhurst Castle, where the eccentric Blythe spinsters live and where, she discovers, her mother was billeted during World War II. The elder Blythe sisters are twins and have spent most of their lives caring for their younger sister, Juniper, who hasn’t been the same since her fiancé jilted her in 1941. Inside the decaying castle, Edie searches for her mother’s past but soon learns there are other secrets hidden in its walls. The truth of what happened in “the distant hours” has been waiting a long time for someone to find it.

Kate Morton has written many books so far, I think The Distant Hours is one of the most powerful I have read by her. I instantly felt at home, those well-placed but barely recognized hints got me hooked. The author has an intricate way of leaving little highlights along the way.
Not only Edie Burchill is drawn to Milderhurst Castle, but I am too. I am completely satisfied with how the plot progressed, there’s nothing left to be desired. The main protagonist is a real sweetheart, a perfect balance to the other characters in the book.
For me, this story ticks every box, pleasant to read with suspense at the right places. I couldn’t wish for more.
